Doomed

I'm scheduled to have my wisdom teeth removed on July 9th. I'm going to cry, I just know it.

HOLY SHIT

You have GOT TO read the latest in Dana's scammer saga. Here's
the first part of the latest update, and here's the UNBELIEVEABLE second part.

Seriously. YOU HAVE TO GO READ THIS STUFF. Just be warned, it isn't exactly rated G. Or even PG.

(And if you haven't been keeping up on the whole story, it would be worth your while to start here and go forward - this is mostly all she's been writing about for the past week and a half.)

Dana rocks. Seriously, you guys.

Oof.

What a DAY. I got out of the house later than I wanted (but still more than a half-hour early for work), and walked right into a fire that I needed to fight as soon as I got in. Which transformed into a finger-pointing session in which managers were getting pissed off, and which shoved me out onto the floor to perform the hated time studies that I was assured I wouldn't have to do anymore.

In the meantime, I got a voicemail from my friend D, saying she wouldn't be able to go to lunch today. Which would have been fine, since I was in firefighting mode and had to cancel myself - except that on the voicemail she was crying so hard that I could barely recognize her voice, and when I tried to call her back there was no answer. (I got in contact with her later, and she's okay.)

Because I wasn't anticipating going out onto the factory floor, I wore sandals today. So I had to race home at 11:00 to change into sneakers. While there I wolfed down a bologna (I still sing it out when I have to spell it) sandwich. I was 3/4 done with it, when Oz chose to PROJECTILE VOMIT on the floor right in front of me. Not once, but twice in a ten second span. WHILE I WAS CHEWING.

Urp. Cleanup isle three!

I had to put my hair up to go out onto the factory floor, thereby ruining the good hair day I was having and guaranteeing that I will have to re-do my hair before I go out tonight.

Which is the only good thing about today - another friend of mine had a spare ticket to The Big One, and I get to go tonight! It's to be taped and re-broadcast on June 1st, so y'all make sure to watch out for me! Except you probably won't see me, since my friend has a VIP SUITE. So we'll be all stylin' and shit as we watch Black Eyed Peas, Ludacris, Jessica Simpson (ew), Mario Winans, J-Kwon, 3 Doors Down, Rooney, Murphy Lee, Nelly, Eamon and Ashlee Simpson (probably also ew, as she's Jessica's sister). Plus a couple of Unannounced Guests!

Ooh. Who's got the good friends? I got the good friends!

Perfection

Love Actually. The most perfect movie if ever there was one. We watched it last night, and all of the deleted scenes they provided. They had to cut the movie down by 80 minutes in order to get it to the just-over-two-hours mark, and let me tell you, I wish they'd sell the extended version. I never wanted this movie to end. I just love it to little bits.

Grrr

I'm tired and bored and hungry. My stupid computer keeps hanging up so it takes FOREVER to open or close any document, or to save, or to open a program, or whatever. I'm working on a training presentation and I'm going into various document databases to find the templates I need. Theoretically. These databases are NOTORIOUS for not giving up information. The search functionality is a joke - best to enter the search criteria and come back tomorrow where it MIGHT be done processing your request.

I'm grumpy. All I want to do is go home and be by myself so my grumpiness doesn't impact on anyone else. I'm supposed to meet Calvin for lunch, but at last phone contact, he seems to be grumpy, too.

I took up several tasks from a morning meeting, simply because nobody else would come forward to accept responsibility. This doesn't help my boss' complaint that I say "yes" too often when people ask for help. I can't help it - nothing pisses me off more than when something is discussed in a meeting that needs to be fixed, and everybody just sits there looking around at each other, at the ceiling, at the floor - basically, with their shields up and offering no help.

I should go to the store after work and get some necessities, but as everyone knows by now, I HATE running errands after work. Except that we need stuff. And I have a short fuse, so the first person to pull a stupid trick in traffic is SO going to get the finger. And woe is the person who gets in front of me and tries to pay with a check, I tell you what.

GAH. I've had it with today.
